Since Li Deng changed his sharp and outwardly exposed temperament in the past, except for some original forces, all the grass on the wall and the neutral camp waiting to be sold at a price have completely fallen to the famous Taibai Flying Tiger - Guo Yunsong, the king of Zhongshan.

Guo Yunsong was originally born in Orion, and after he raised troops with Youbei Taizu, he charged forward in all battles. In that era when swords and soldiers were everywhere, no matter friend or foe, they all agreed that he was a brave and resourceful general; But after all, no one is perfect, and when it comes to the battlefield approaching the enemy, Guo Yunsong not only has the courage of ten thousand people, the power of the overlord, but also knows the art of formation and strategy. One of the most amazing features of him is that he can roughly calculate the length of each other's forces after the first battle against the enemy. is such an unborn military genius, but he has one of the most fatal flaws......

Guo Yunsong is not ignorant of the situation in the court, nor is he a moral gentleman who cannot tolerate a grain of sand. Whether he is disdainful or unwilling, all in all, this Taibai Flying Tiger Guo Yunsong is really a disastrous performance when facing the young master Yan Hunt.

Maybe he thinks he is the same generation as the founding emperor Yan Wuqi, and he has no respect for this little emperor of the grandchildren, although he has not yet reached the point of "entering the court, going to the palace with a sword, and praising and worshipping without a name", but there is no respect for the emperor at all between his words.

Whether it is the imperial horse supervisor of the inner palace who works hard for the people and money, or asks for the princess and relatives from the Mobei grassland that was disabled by the Taibai Iron Army, the affairs of the DPRK and China, large and small, but whenever there is something that the general who protects the country does not like his eyes, he will point his nose and angrily reprimand the emperor in front of the civil and military officials at the court meeting.

In the view of Li Deng, who is a cold-eyed observer of Mingzhe's self-preservation, a large part of the reason for Emperor Xuande's hypocritical and exposed "cunning personality" comes from Guo Yunsong's strong management.

It is true that Guo Yunsong has never had the idea of plotting to usurp the throne and bully the king. He only thought of the righteousness of sworn brothers with Yan Wuen, and the mentality of educating his own grandchildren, that he would do such taboo things. is the so-called monarch and minister, and the position of the monarch and minister should be placed before the relationship between father and son. What's more, Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt is just his "godgrandson." ”

And the newly enthroned Emperor Xuande was also very desperate. In those days, before every court meeting, he washed his face with tears, knelt in front of the ancestral tablet and denounced Guo Yunsong's strong ministers for bullying the lord, and harbored a heart of disobedience. It is precisely because of this dark experience that when Yan Hunt pretended to give condolences to Bag, he was able to cry freely, whether it was the rhythm of speaking or the breath between crying, it was enough to eat a bowl of "white rice" among the people.

This pair of "godfathers and grandsons", one is the younger generation of Zhou Gong's Tubu Tubu and his face, and the other is the little emperor who has great ambitions but is bullied by strong ministers, and he must be a cat and a dog in the same cage in terms of identity. What's more, both of them have forgotten some very important things:

What Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt forgot was that Guo Yunsong was the head of the Youbei Third Road Public Push back then, but he was heroic and unwilling to be formal, so he took the initiative to give up the position of leader to his own brother-in-law, that is, the founding emperor of Youbei, his own grandfather Yan Wufang.

And what Guo Yunsong forgot was that he still held the head of the world's strong army - 50,000 Taibai Guards. Yes, at that time, Taibai Weizu had 50,000 main elites, which could be called the entire combat power of the Youbei Third Road. If you really want to assist the younger generation with one mind, then the best way is to hand over all the military power and be a civilian prince. At that time, Xu Yan Jia would also care about Kuanren's reputation, so he indulged in such a taboo presumptuousness.

How can you allow others to snore next to the couch? However, Emperor Xuande's couch - his own capital Fengjing, surrounded by 50,000 elite iron troops of strong ministers.

Guo Yunsong, who "holds military power and threatens the throne", has become a living Cao Cao in the eyes of everyone. And Shen Gui's maternal uncle, who is also Guo Yunsong's only son, Guo Shuang, died like that, in fact, the seeds had been quietly planted at that time.

From a certain point of view, the person who dug the deep pit for the seeds of hatred was the Xuande Emperor Yan Hunt who was "threatened" to the point of producing a psychological shadow; But it was Guo Shuang's biological father who added the last handful of soil to this pit!

For many years, the role of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in charge of Lu Xiangyin by Emperor Xuande's side is indeed unknown. However, everyone understands in their hearts that as long as Emperor Xuande needs it, he can get the detailed information of any person on the three roads of Youbei from Lu Xiangyin at any time - from the three generations of ancestors to yesterday's family food list, all of them are in this list. Of course, the information of some special people is not so detailed in the Imperial Horse Prison at present.

According to the private discussion of officials, in the hands of Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt, there is everyone's incriminating evidence. Nowadays, as long as he wants to completely bring down any courtier, it is easy. Over the years, although His Majesty has not made many personal moves, he has been able to target every shot, and the evidence is conclusive. Thinking about it carefully, it makes every official shudder.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is not only His Majesty's clairvoyant ears, but also the sharpest murderous sword in His Majesty's palm. However, in Yan Hunt's own opinion, there is nothing special about this imperial horse supervisor.

During that all-night long conversation, Yan Hunt gave his son and nephew a gift and asked Lu Xiangyin how to stand on his own; And Lu Xiangyin, who was flattered, put forward a special opinion to Yan Hunt: he wanted to personally train a secret force for His Majesty.

According to what Lu Xiangyin said to Emperor Xuande, the Imperial Horse Supervisor can be temporarily divided into three departments: forage room, room room, and affairs office.

On the surface, the forage room is in charge of buying forage and feeding horses, and is the largest department of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The task in the secret is to collect, sort, and analyze all kinds of intelligence: whether it is the Third Road in Youbei, or Nankang and Beiyan, or even Tubo in the western part of the Mobei Grassland, from the situation in the court to the rumors in the market, all the news that can be obtained will be analyzed and summarized here. Such a huge workload naturally depends on high expenses and a lot of manpower to maintain;

The work of the hay house is simpler than that of the forage house. On the surface, it is just to manage the daily life and food and purchase of all the people in the Imperial Horse Prison. And the secret work is also very simple and straightforward - they are only responsible for killing! In response to the different instructions of the Supreme Governor Lu Xiangyin, the methods of killing people are also varied: assassination, poisoning, beating with sticks, kidnapping, whipping corpses, destroying doors, and so on. As long as it is ordered by Lu Xiangyin, whether it is insidious and obscene or above board, the eunuchs in the room will not hesitate at all.

Of course, this department of the house is also the most manpower-consuming of the Imperial Horse Prison. In the refining room on the south side of the palace back then, in every smoke that rose up, there were souls that had been eliminated by inhuman training. Yes, the little eunuch who enters the room has only two ends: either he becomes the elite of the room, or he turns into a wisp of green smoke.

And the environment for things is the most stable. The office is also known as the inner room, which is in charge of all the housekeeping of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Including internal personnel changes, daily training of second-echelon reserve personnel, etc. Of course, the logistical support work such as utensils and weapons is also the responsibility of the people in the inner room. However, there is another most important function of the inner room: interrogation!

Whether it is the live mouth caught in the room, or the inner ghost of the Imperial Horse Prison, or even the cleaning of the insiders, the people in the inner room are responsible for interrogation. Therefore, the people in the inner room are all good at extorting confessions by torture, and their understanding of the human body is even higher than that of Sun Baizhi, an alternative doctor who "reverses yin and yang", but they are slightly different in research directions.

At that time, the renovation work of the Imperial Horse Supervisor lasted for two years, costing countless amounts of money and labor, which caused great dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition. As soon as the two-year construction period expired, everyone found that it looked no different from the original site of the internal security office. Although the officials have been impeached several times, they have not made any waves. As a result, there are many "people who understand" in the government and the opposition, and they will give a thumbs up when they mention this matter: Look at the method of supervising Lu in the people, as the so-called land has its own wealth, whether you plant or build, as long as the land is opened, the silver will naturally flow out.

Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt naturally scoffed at these rumors. As early as the beginning of the renovation, I had already reviewed the overall plan in detail and looked at the preliminary renovation drawings. In the plan presented by Lu Xiangyin, it was supposed to demolish the original internal guard station, first dig out a huge underground palace under the original site, and then build it back as it was. In this way, from the outside, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is no different from the original internal guard, and there is a smell of formalism and decay.

As a result, the underground palace, the product of this self-enriching self-purse, became the main workplace of the inner room of the Imperial Horse Prison. Countless missing officials and people, and even secret spies who were captured by various forces, are all participating in the research work of the inner eunuchs and the limits of the human body in this dark and damp palace of the Imperial Horse Prison that has not seen the light of day all year round.

These people were mainly responsible for helping the eunuchs in the inner room, improving the various torture instruments, and studying the limits of the various functions of the human body. Of course, no matter how long it takes or how they perform, their final outcome is the same.

Lu Xiangyin, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who seemed to be a fat old man from an ordinary farmer, sat in the main hall of the internal guard all day long. However, under his chair, there was a mill of flesh and blood that did not see the light of day, turning day and night.
